Road Safety Bill [HL]

The noble Earl makes a very good point. I am sure that we shall look carefully at the concerns expressed about the envisaged width of organisations that might possibly need access to driving records. We will be very careful about who has access to the record. Noble Lords raised concerns about people possibly making money from accessing your driving record. I also asked that question. I was told—and I hope this gives some confidence to noble Lords—that any access to the electronic document that is your driving record at the end of this proposal would have a trail attached to it. So, first, the security would be very tight so far as anyone being able to access that record. Should that security be breached there would be a documentary trail attached to who had access to your record. I think we are being told that that access would be very secure and that even if it were breached there would be evidence.
